Fig. 14 is.a diagrammatic illustration. of reflected light means forobtaining an 11npression from a finishedreproduction sheet.

Referring to the drawings a and c in Fig. l are sections of areproduction sheet which has been cut transversely, and b is a sli witha correct line or lines of type or ot 1er 'characters thereon. The slipZ2 is inserted between, the sections a and ccso that' the top margin ofthe slip lb lies above the section a `While its bottom margin liesbeneaththe section c. It is thus seen that the slips b with the correctlines are inserted between the sections a and o like a roof shingle.

Fig. 1t is a front view of a section of a reproduction sheet. Aligningmarks are made on the left and right margins of the sheet, thesealigning marks consisting of crosses withshort vertical lines placed inline ,above eachother and long horizontal lines Which're'gister with thespace between.y

the printed lines on the sheet. In Fig. 1b, the slip b1 with the correctline or lines is joined to the sections a1, c1 of the reproduction sheetwith its top and bottom margins beneath the ends of the sections c1 andc1.

v.An incision in a reproduction sheet that is to be. corrected is madenear or onthe transverse or .horizontal line of thecorrerEhe incision iSmade beneath the incorrect line, and the s ip with the correct line is"inserted with its top margin above the incorrect line on the,reproduction ysheet. As the slips b .are of considerable width they donotbecome war ed and creasy like a narrow strip A whose'wi th is equalto the height of a line type or letters.'

A's shown in Fig. 1 thel reproduction sheet 1 carries a series ofjustified lines, which may be printed uponby means of a type-settingtandwriting machine or the like.. a, a are ali ing marks or crosses as shown and descri ed in Fig. 1. `One of- .the lines of Fig. 1 contains aclerical error indicated thereon at a suitable point such as b. Forcorrecting this 'error according to Fig. 3 an incision c is made beneaththe incorrect line,l i. e. by means of a cutting device according toFig. 2. This ydeviceis* similar to thoseJ generally used with cutting..photographic 'prints or the like and conplate 2, a second plate 3,v

sists in a base hinged to the'basehplate 2 and av knife 4;

i aligning marks are The reproduction sheet is secured to the hingedplate 3 by means of holdin bars. The plate 3 then is moved downwar sonto the knife 4 against the action of coil sprin s or the like betweenthe plates 2 and-3. T e knife is arranged in such a manner, that thesheet is not completely cut into separated pieces, but incisions onlyare made such as c, Fig; 3. The incorrect lines are rewritten ona-separate sheet as shown in Fic. 5. sheet 6 carries only one correctedLline g 'according to the incorrect line shown at Z) in Fig. 1.Incisions 71. and z' may be made into the sheet 6 in the manner labovedescribed, these incisions being taken adjacent to the upper part of thecorrected line or lines. The rewritten correct line or lines are then-disconnected from the sheetu 6 by tearing off, so that a strip lg isformed as` The the upper part of the lines by means of the l ,cuttingdevice shown in Fig. 2.

u After thus having prepared the typed matter, the latter must be puttogether. For.

.thispurpose a base 7 is use'd having horizontal linesrs and. verticallines Z, and a prominent middle line m as shown in Fig. 7. The typedmatter nowis com osed-or put together by placing the strlps and sheetscontaining the titles, lines, etc., upon the cross-lined base in-v sucha manner, that thejmiddle of-each part of the typed matter correspondstothe middle line m of thel base, Figs. 7 and 10 to 12.l The middle ofthe lines is determined b v folding the strips or sheets as shown inFig. 9 so that thel vertical parts-f the aligning marks re ister withleach other. A fold or crease is t en made inthe middle of these stripsvor sheets by squeezing the folded parts together. The tltles andthe likeare folded inea similar manner 'but in this case the beginning and theend of the title, etc., itself, not 'the put one on the other beforefolding.`

-As shown in Fig. 10aa. strip c containing a title is first torn oft'from the sheet 5 and placed onthe base 7 with its crease n registeringwith'the-middle line m, the cut edges (l (Fig. 8)' of the strip beingplaced just parallel to horizontal lines of the base. followingline-strip placed upon the base may be another line containing anundertitle also torn off from the sheet 5. vIf this The line is, asindicated in Fig. 10, Iof a greater length than the first line e, theedges of this' strip willy not register with the edgesof thelfirst.strip, while the middles of -the titles and undertitlc other andthe-middle linem. After the titles have been placed upon the base theupper part of the sheet 1 containing the text is turned off and also puton the base. Now` aline r l( Fig. 1,11) is-drawn on the base,'registering with the vertical parts of the aligning marks and tlheincorrectline is covered -by the strlp g containing the correct rewrit- -tenline. In order to strictly adjust lthe correct line and the followingparts of the i. text the 4auxiliary guiding line 1' may be used inconnection with.. the vertical parts.

.of the. aligning marks a in the leftmargins. The edges of theincisions. hand z' must be exactly parallel' to the horizontal lines ofi sheet the base. 'The remaining part ofthe text sheet Z is then placedupon the base in. the

fmanner described. A strip o, on which ornamentationsare printed, and astrip 7",V

on which the, designation of the page isl printed, may be vplaced uponthe at the bottom of the text in a desired distance and arrangement withregard tothe*l other parts. As shown in Fig.` y12 4the strip owith theornamentation is placed in such a manner that the middle of theornamentationv corresponds with the middle linem, while the beginning ofstrip f registers with the left edge of the column of the text. Itis tobe understood that all strips and sheetsov'erlap each other in themannershown 'in Iig. 1, the strip g with the correct .line coveringtheincorrect line. Fig.' 11i-illustrates the manner of covering, bymeans of blank stri-ps of paper, or by means of other suitable materialsuch as color, all lparts' of the printedmatter put together and not tobe reproduced. From the finished reproduction sheet an impression may bemade by means `of refiecting' light. as shoyvn in Fig. 14, photographyor the like. In Fig. 14 a Sheet 10l of suitable material having asensitized surface 9-.is layed down upon the reproduction .whici hasbeen put together in the manner described. f
